We are thrilled to kick off the third annual Walk for Women campaign in celebration of International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month. This initiative unites our collective efforts in raising awareness and funds to empower women and girls through our life-changing programs. Our Walk for Women shirts spark conversations and spread our message.
We are powered by Soroptimist, and our leaders wanted to share their #WhyIWalk as they reflect on what inspires them to participate!
“This photo from a beach walk near my home reminds me of resilience—like these deep roots holding firm. It captures exactly why I support SIA’s Walk For Women. To me, empowerment means removing barriers. I am inspired by SIA’s mission because it focuses on transformation. We don’t just offer temporary aid, we change the entire trajectory of a life. Join me in walking toward a world where every woman and girl can live her dream.”
2025-2026 SIA President Sue Riney
“I’m so excited to participate in this event! Because this event, held in honor of International Women’s Day, showcases how Soroptimist works for women in our community and around the world.”
2025-2026 SIA President-elect Madoka Ushio
“To me, women’s empowerment means a woman having the confidence, courage and ability to get what she needs out of her life. Whether she is raising children, running her own business, educating others or working for a corporation. Empowerment means women knowing their own value for themselves, family, friends, community and the world.”
2025-2026 SIA Secretary/Treasurer Gail Dekreon
